No Man Is an Island (1962) - full transcript
The true story of George Tweed, an American sailor who became the only serviceman on the island of Guam to avoid capture by the Japanese during the early years of World War II.
"No man is an island
entire of itself.
"Every man is a piece
of the continent,
"a part of the main.
"Any man's death diminishes me.
I am involved in all mankind."
Ten.
Twenty.
Go.
Mm-mmm.
Fifteen.
Oh, I'm gonna miss you, George.
Oh-ho, I'm gonna
miss you too, Chico.
I don't see why you want
to leave us, Tweed.
Here you got
a South Sea island paradise,
sunshine all year 'round,
gorgeous dames.
Well, we got gorgeous dames
in Minneapolis too.
You mean those blonde Swedish broads
snappin'in to spend your overseas pay?
Nobody's gonna spend my overseas.
I already got it invested.
You won't like it, George.
I tried it on the outside once.
You won't like it.
Wanna make a little bet,
Chief?
You know, just a little somethin'
to kind of tide me over
to Christmas?
Yeah.
Hey! Hey, you hear that?
That's a plane.
Ah, Georgie,
didn't I tell you?
There's no more plane rides.
They're shipping all enlisted personnel
home by tanker.
Why don't you get yourself
a funny hat, Sonnenberg?
Ah, so it's a plane.
It's not just a plane, Chico.
It is a flying boat
from Pearl Harbor.
You know what's
on that bucket?
Yeah, medical gear.
That's right.
And my replacement.
And when it takes off tomorrow,
you know who's gonna be on board?
Don't tell me.
Let me guess.
Me. Tweed, George R.
Pasadena, California.
The Tournament of Roses Committee
today names Oregon State college's...
eastern opponent...
in the annual Rose Bowl football game
on New Year's Day.
It is Duke University...
of Durham, North Carolina.
We return now
to our musical program.
I wish they had made
their minds up quicker.
They could have gotten
in this week's "Eyes and Ears."
Ah, this is it.
Here's the truck.
Chief Schultz?
You must be Lund.
Yeah.
Pal, I can't tell you
how glad I am to see you.
Thanks a lot.
Uh, Tweed's the name.
George R.
Lund.
Lund. What's your first name?
Roy.
Roy, I want you to come
right over here and sit down.
Make yourself at home.
I know you had a tough trip.
We don't want anything
to happen to you.
Whatever you do,
don't go away, okay?
Meet the rest of the section.
Chico Torres.
Al Turney.
Sonn Sonnenberg.
- How are ya?
- Ah, chow time.
Set it right down,
Vicente.
Where the hell have you been?
Everything's cold.
I have to wait
along time.
It wasn't his fault.
The exec kept me waiting.
I told you rare, Vicente.
Can't you fishheads
get anything straight?
Turney, do you have to
keep riding him, hmm?
Rice and fishheads.
What else do they know?
You know something, Turney?
You're an A-number-one,
first-class prince.
Blow it out your ditty bag.
Knock it off!
Hey, hey, you guys.
Come on.
Are we gonna have a fight
or a little goin'-away party?
Break out the brew.
Yeah. Now that sounds
more like it.
Whoo-hoo!
That's nice and cold too.
Oh, wait.
Hold it, Chief.
Please.
What's wrong?
Why, you're throwing away
the biggest day of my life.
It's the day I got sprung.
Vicente?
Hey, what's going on?
Fires are blazing in downtown Honolulu,
adding to the dense columns
of black smoke already towering
above Pearl Harbor.
Bomb damage is heavy
in the vicinity of Hawaii Flectric.
Messages from Cincpaq
to Com-Nav-Guam, 1-A priority.
Proceed Plan "B," Baker, immediately.
Repeat: Proceed Plan "B," Baker,
immediately.
Three Japanese planes have gone on a raid,
That's the only direct message, sir.
While dozens of others--
Well, we picked up
and decoded the following:
Cincpaq to Com-7-Nav.
Sunk: Arizona, Oklahoma,
West Virginia,
California, Nevada, Utah,
Casein, Downes, Oglala.
- Damaged or on fire:
Tennessee, Maryland,

I good American
as you are!
My husband come from Osaka
45 years ago.
I live here all time since he die.
Sure, sure.
I know, Mrs. Nakarmura.
But I got orders
to pick up all Japanese nationals.
All right. All right.
I go.
You damn S.P.
Ah, good afternoon,
Mrs. Nakamura.
Good afternoon, Mr. Shimoda.
I am--
Chief! Chief!
Hey, Chief,
we gotta drag out of here.
What's the word?
The old man says
they can't hold out any longer.
He says we gotta choose for ourselves.
Go down to the town and surrender,
or take to the hills.
Sonn, get a couple
of cases of rations.
Yeah.
Where are we goin'?
We'll go across the island.
We'll get a boat.
- What'll we do with a boat?
-You're in the navy, ain't ya?
We don't know if we got
any navy left, and if we have,
how are they gonna find us?
What do you think
they gave us that TBX for?
we'll take it with us.
Chief.
I'm goin' down the hill.
Yeah? The hell you are.
Look, the old man said
we could choose.
Okay. Choose.
No, we're traveling lighter
than that, kid.
Just take what you need.
Come on, Chico!
Come on. Let's go!
Look, the old man said
it was up to us.
He must know
what he's doing.
- You take the wheel, Sonn.
You know the roads better.
- Okay, Chief.
You wanna know somethin'?
You guys won't last a week.
Where is he going?
Hey, Turney!
You're makin' a mistake.
I had China duty.
I saw what they do to prisoners.
Stick with the section.
We'll find a boat
or hide out in the hills
till the navy gets back.
You heard the radio.
We ain't got any navy.
- Now, don't be a damn fool.
- Chief! Turney!
Now what are we gonna do?
You tell us.
Me?
Why me?
You're the only first class.
You got the rank.
If you're goin' down the hill, Turney,
you're gonna have to go alone.
All right.
Let's get out of here.
Wait for me!
I guess this is
the end of the line.
Dallas!
Here.
Johnson!
Here.
Orlin!
Here.
Wertz!
Here.
Simmons!
Yo.
Chaplain,
I wish the complete list...
of all American military dead.
Thank you, Chaplain.
And from you, Doctor,
we require a full list
of all American military wounded..
So that we can make arrangements
for hospital and medical needs.
Okay, Skipper?
No objection.
Thank you, Doctor.
[ Shouts In Japanese ]
Please examine, Mr. Shimoda,
and report.
What's the matter with you,
cock-a-doodle-do?
You stole his water.
I did not steal his water.
I'm just borrowing his cup.
Chicken and rice.
You like?
Try me.
You betcha.
How many people
know about this place?
Oh, no, nobody.
Only Chamorros.
Cockfighting against
American law.
Come on.
Keep it comin'.
How many kids
have you got, Florecito?
Thirteen,
but 11 of them are girls.
Hey, uh, hey, wait a minute.
This must be the kids' supper.
Oh, my woman,
she cooks more rice.
The kids are too fat now.
- Hey, Turney.
- Yeah?
What do you think
of fishheads now?
Commander Oto,
I have compared
the new lists of wounded,
dead and prisoners...
against my own record
of all American military in Guam.
There are five names missing.
Lund, Sonnenberg,
Torres, Turney,
Tweed.
I regret you did not give
the information voluntarily, Captain.
You've made it
more difficult for us...
and for them.
- What's that for?
- Tuba and water makes rooster
mad as hell.
Still nothin'.
Nothing but Japanese.
Who else did you think
was out there?
I say we start sending.
Maybe we can raise a sub.
So how you gonna send,
in the clear?
But you don't know
the day code anymore.
Even if you raised a sub,
they wouldn't believe you.
So we talk 'em into believing us.
We take a chance.
All you'd be doing
is tellin' 'em we're hiding out.
If they got a direction finder,
you're even tellin' 'em where.
Not if we keep movin',
we don't.
It's what a TBX is for,
to move with.
You send and move.
When the navy comes back,
you let 'em know what's going on.
You guys forgotten
about Pearl Harbor?
- I don't want any part of it.
- Listen, Turney. Nobody asked you
to hop on that truck.
As long as you're with this outfit,
you've got a part of it.
You don't like it that way,
grab a rifle and go in business
for yourself!
[ Boy Shouting In Chamorro]
What's he saying?
Shut up!
Japanese soldiers!
They come by road.
Here. Take this with you.
Thanks.
Cross the road.
Follow the river to the swamp.
Mil gracias.
De nada.
[ Florecito Speaking Spanish ]
Come on, Roy! Come on!
Go ahead! I'll catch up.
Hey! Hey, fellas!
Somebody give me a hand!
Come on.
I'm in a hole!
Here!
Hey! That's it.
All right. Let's go.
Hey. Hey, hold it.
I lost my shoe.
Oh, no.
Next time you go wadin', kid,
tighten up your shoelaces.
Man, oh, man!
What the hell
are you yellin' about?
It was like steppin'
on a hot nail!
Oh, man! Ow, man.
What's wrong, kid?
Ah, that thing, it--
it bit me.
- What is it?
- A scorpion.
A scorpion?
Is it poisonous?
It won't kill ya.
It'll make you
awfully sick though.
Listen, stick with him
and then catch up with us, huh?
Yeah. Yeah, right.
Ooh.
"Notice to Guam people:
"The Japanese have come
as your friends.
All now sharing in
greater East Asia coprosperity plan."
You listen.
Anybody need 25 yen that bad,
come to me.
I give.
No tell on those boys.
They're good customers, huh?
[ Shouting In Japanese ]
How you feelin', Roy?
Think you can make it?
The more he walks on that foot,
the worse it'll get.
All right. we'll let him rest
for a couple of hours, then
we'll take off at midnight.
What if he can't walk?
Then we'll carry him.
There's a night patrol
coming up the draw.
They'll pin us
up against this bluff.
[ Man Speaking Japanese ]
We'll go up topside.
I can't.
I'll never make it.
Sure you can, kid.
we'll help you.
I can't even walk.
Wait a minute, Tweed.
The kid's right.
Why don't we hide him here?
Look, he'll have as much chance here
as the rest of us.
We better do somethin'.
Yeah.
Yeah, all right.
Let's cover him with brush.
Yeah.
I'll be back for the gun.
Hey. Where's Turney?
Lund. Lund!
Go on. Get out of here.
They'll see us.
Now listen.
You gotta listen.
We been runnin'
for three days.
You can't run anymore.
Look, they gotta take us in.
They gotta take care of your foot.
They gotta feed us.
What else can they do?
We're prisoners of war, ain't we?
Beat it. Go on, beat it!
Look, kid, this is crazy.
What the devil
is he trying to do?
Hey. Hey, you!
The kid! They got--
The kid!
Shut up!
How many times
can they kill 'im?
Hey.
[ Speaks Chamorro]

Sure.
What do you want to know?
Um, we sure could use
something to eat.
You follow me.
Arroz and frijoles,

Like some more?
Mmm.
Por favor.
Gracias.
Where do you go now?

We could have done something.
He just lay there bleeding.
Don't you understand?
We could have saved his life,

Oh, he's Father Pangolin.
Good morning, Mr. Tweed.
I read your dog tags.
Limtiago
is my able assistant.
He will be very happy
to attend to your needs.
You have nothing
to worry about here.
You are safe with us.
Safe?
Will you be safe, Father?
You see,
there were five of us.
I was in charge.
I'm the only one left.
People tried to hide us
and feed us,
and they cut their heads off.
I know.
I don't want anybody else
to get killed.
-I'm gonna give myself up.
-You must never do that, Mr. Tweed.
I don't go to your church,
Father.
There must be a reason
why your life should be spared.
Someday I hope you will learn why.
I didn't want to shock you further,
Mr. Tweed,
but the people behind those doors
have been afflicted too long...
and came to us too late.
They are your best guarantee...
the Japanese
will not come here.
These are the children
of patients undergoing cure.
They're just as healthy
as any other children...
and just as clean.
The toys you see were given
by your own navy people.
You see, Mr. Tweed,
life goes on.
Even commerce.
I would like you to meet
a special friend of mine,
Tommy Tanaka.
He's half-Japanese.
Hello, Tommy.
Hello, Father!
- What are you writing, Tommy?
- I make my name, Tommy Tanaka.
See?
Oh, I'm sorry we have
no ribbons for your typewriter.
I make my name anyway.

If the Americans will fight
in the Philippines,
they will help
the Chamorros too.
It's sinful.
What is, Father?
That we are the only ones
who can hear the real news.
Yeah. Yeah.
What we need is
the good old "Eyes and Ears."

That's what we used to call
The Guam Eagle.

Hey!
No sell.
Six bits is all I got.
No sell.
- What do you want, blood?
- Watch.
- Oh, you want to trade something.
- Watch.
- Did you ever see one of these?
- Watch.
You can't even tell the time.
I'll tell you what I"m gonna do.
I'm gonna give you this lighter,
and I'm gonna throw in
the six bits as a bonus.
You oughta run
a used car lot.
I really hate to see you
cut into that, Father.
George, I don't think
the Lord will mind...
is my stole

The Japanese marines
and soldiers left Guam.
I saw some ships
leaving three days ago,
but I didn't know they all left.
Only a few military police are in Agana.
I don't think they'll bother you here.

why would they all leave?
Unless our navy's

They took all the men in the district.
